Heres a new product called the smart bobber; it latches on to your pole when not in use as a extra eye, then when the strike indicator is necessary, just unhook from your pole and you have the foam light weight bobber. when setting the hook, no need to undue, its light weight, no abbrasion, and can be left dangling or you can snap it back to your pole. Never left without the strike indicator. Check it out, and I'm not trying to sell them, just came across them the other day...
here's a pic showing how they work on the back of the label
